He laughed when he said, “Imagine even in Grenada people reacted
in shock when we went on stage.
“The word on people’s lips over there too, is that we
mash up.”
Naya disclosed that it was following a performance with KMC a few
weeks ago in the Spice Isle that a couple promoters saw the band’s
energised performance and decided to give him a bligh again.
“They admitted to me that they heard that we weren’t
in the business again and they told me where they got it from.”
He told Sunday PUNCH that it was to his dismay after C2K6, unlike
previous years, his bookings especially overseas suddenly dropped.
The former Road March champ said he was soon to discover that the
propaganda mill was at work and one of the big players in the entertainment
business was involved.
“For some reason that man (name called) keeps fighting me
down and telling everybody that we mash up,” he revealed.
“Because he big in the business, promoters don’t ask
questions and takes his word for it.” Imagine even a local
radio station call me and ask if my band mash up?
He said he’s now trying to set the record straight and his
recent performance at Colours of We Summer concert was the start.
“Grenada got the message that we still ripping and I hope
the word gets around that Invazion is here to stay.”
Since the departure of soca diva Faye-Ann Lyons from the band a
couple years ago, Invazion has not had a regular lead vocalist.
“We had Trini Jacobs this year but she has since returned
to Miami,” he told Sunday PUNCH. We have people in mind but
having a female vocalist is not our main focus, being the best band
is,” he ended.
